Rajkummar Rao is a known to be health freak. The actor has been following a strict diet and disciplined regime for the past few years to ensure he is in the best shape.Known to give 100 percent to each character he plays, Rao not only had to gain extra kilos for the part but also had to become a smoker to enact smoking like a pro on screen. 

Being most dedicated to his role as freedom fighter Subhash Chandra Bose, who was known to be a smoker in real life, Rajkummar Rao got into the habit of smoking even when was off the sets. Speaking on this, creative producer of Bose-Dead/Alive by ALTBalaji, Hansal Mehta said that, "I was shocked to see that Rajkummar had difficulty breathing in the Ladakh schedule and even more stunned to realise that in the role prep for Bose, he has taken to smoking. The man has no vices, I have seen him at his fittest best, eating healthy, sleeping early and having quinoa, however, to get into the skin of the character of Subhash Chandra Bose, he had to gain 11 kgs and also smoke onscreen. Now he has one vice, smoking!"

The actor wrapped up the shoot of Bose and shared the news on Twitter. Rajkummar wrote, " It's a wrap on one of my most ambitious projects."

 

Directed by Pulkit, Bose also starsPatralekhaa Paul, Edward Sonnenblick, Naveen Kasturia, Sanjay Gurbaxani and Surendra Rajan in the lead.
